MalwareBytes

I was watching Britec recently and he did a Test of a bunch of free Scanners. Ad-Aware, Emisoft Emergency Kit, Dr . Web Cure and Norman Malware Cleaner. All of them 20 or below with over 2000 (yes that’s right 2,000 infections). Mbam found over 2200.

This review is a little messed up but the point is still there. MBAM is the best of the best. Some of the files were being replicated from 1 virus everytime it was quartined. That’s why their was so many.

Here’s the Link to his Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cN_tXvYbaCQ

Something that we here already know :wink: MBAM is what the majority of us here are running beside avast already and it’s probably one of the most common tools recommended by the Malware team to first run when checking for malware.

The MBAM crew and users their forum are very active lately,
see also the launch of the beta Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit tool
(that is why I registered there also).

Relatively less is heard about SAS, and I miss that in mentioned ifo above.
See: http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic/269612-sas-vs-mbam/

Well for the record I have both installed on my laptop, both non-resident next to avast av.
Some prefer MBAM over SAS, some like little old me, use both…
Also like to use AdwCleaner under guidance…

I for some time had both SAS and MBAM installed, both were pro versions, but only one was ever set to being resident.

I have subsequently uninstalled SAS, not because it was bad as such, just that it (nor MBAM) ever found anything on my system, not that I expected them to find anything. It was just a case of too much redundancy, having avast, mbam and sas. I do like the SAS Repair suite of functions in the program, which isn’t present in MBAM.
